Answer 1

The answer sensory (afferent) division. The nerves are sensory because they perceive sensory stimuli, in this case, temperatures. Additionally, afferent nerves carry impulses to the Central Nervous System while efferent nerves carry impulse to muscles and glands in response to information brought in by afferent nerves.
